Front door will not open from inside or outside

Welcome to 2CarPros.

Honestly, the only thing you can do is remove it with the door closed. The hardest part are two screws near the door frame.

I'm sorry, but I don't have a video for this vehicle, but here are the directions. It can be done, it's just a lot more difficult with the door closed. The attached pics correlate with the directions.
